The Prospector's Dreams of Klondike is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Yukon Cornelius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.538 billion Yukoners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dawson City. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Klondike economy, worth a remarkable 1,607 trillion loonies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,581 loonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, and religious terrorism is considered to be an Act of God by insurance companies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Klondike's national animal is the Boreal Woodland Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gold Rush.

Klondike is ranked 20,872nd in the world and 29th in Canada for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
